Maroo Entertainment trainee Park Ji-hoon is now a member of South Korean boy band Wanna One. A video of the artist has been released where he personally thanked his fans for supporting his journey so far.
Website Soompi notes that on June 19, Maroo Entertainment, which manages Park Ji-hoon, shared a video of the newest Wanna One member where he is seen and heard thanking a lot of people, including his fans.
"Thanks to the national producers, I came in the high ranking of second on 'Produce 101 Season 2.' I would first like to really express my gratitude and since you voted and placed me in second, I will take more responsibility and work harder," Park Ji-hoon began saying.
Addressing his fans he said, "I felt a little shy about saying this out loud, so I wrote it on a piece of paper" which read, "Fans are saved in Ji-hoon's heart," a cute phrase he used frequently on "Produce 101 Season 2."

First of all, I sincerely apologise to everyone who was hurt by the recent controversy. I feel responsible for my improper behaviour so I am taking the time to reflect on my actions. I'm sorry for causing so much trouble," Ha Min-ho wrote on his Instagram page. It was alleged that he sexually harassed minors as well as his girlfriend.
